We
recently met pianist Fumio Itabashi in "Flush Up" - TAKEO MORIYAMA
QUARTET and "Wheel Stone - Live In Nemuro" - TERUMASA HINO (SEPTET).
Today I present his album "Toh", the first author project (all
compositions written by Fumio Itabashi), released by Frasco Records [FS-7011].
The other two musicians on this LP are superb bassist Okada Tsutomu and
excellent drummer Kusumoto Takuji.
Believe
me in the word, another extraordinary Japanese ride.
If
you find it, buy this album!
